Personal note from Stephanie, Aimee, and Tami

Daniel, Dan, Rudy, Dad, Grandpa, Uncle Dan…
We all experienced a kind human being who lived life simply. He was humble, generous, compassionate, funny, and a loved man. Through his actions he has taught many of us that selfless acts of love are impactful and can be done regardless of wealth and status. He didn’t preach about his philanthropic work, he just gave his time and attention to whomever he came across that needed it. We believe he is now at peace and welcomed back home by his mother, Gloria “Mamacita” and his loved ones.
Thank you to everyone for your support during this difficult time. We encourage you to post your favorite photos and/or stories about Daniel on the memories tab of this memorial website.
